Abstract

The significance of reliability in public transit is paramount in contemporary society. A significant number of individuals who utilize public bus transportation have considerable time inefficiencies since they are compelled to wait for extended periods at bus stops. This study aims to propose a solution for addressing the aforementioned challenge through the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) technological stack. The provision of precise real-time bus position information, along with estimated arrival times at bus stops based on real-time traffic circumstances, will enhance the overall dependability of public bus transportation for passengers. The approach presented in this research paper entails utilizing the already internet-enabled devices found aboard buses, such as the e-ticketing system, or alternatively, employing a basic android tablet. These devices are utilized to capture and transmit the current position of the bus in real-time to designated servers. The retrieval of location data from servers will be eased by the use of Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs, which may be accessed by users via android applications, SMS, or online portals.
